I'm very interested in how these turn out. Adaptations have a nasty habit of being bad/disappointing, but with Sanderson having this much influence I am less worried than I normally would be. In some ways, I'm interested to see how the adaptations could improve on the source material. Through...

Explorer’s Guide to Wildemount definitely refers to the gods as being outsiders that came to Exandria at some point. I think it’s in the sidebar about the Luxon.

Both r/onednd and r/dndnext were made during the playtest periods.

No one calls 5e “D&D Next,” so I don’t know why people thought that would be the name of the new “edition”

Well, no, I didn't understand what you meant, which I why I replied to your post.

I’m not aware of any time or place in history where those existed.

Apologies, you’re right. I did get the passages mixed up. The focus on oversexualizing female characters and fanservice is definitely a thing in Dragonlance though. I remember a particular scene where a male character watches an elf/dragon woman bathe in a waterfall.

Are you aware that Peter Jackson’s trilogy aren’t the first movie adaptations of Tolkien’s works? Ralph Bakshi’s rotoscope animated Lord of the Rings movie was released in 1978. In it Aragorn is depicted as a Native American, though his actor is English. It’s a pretty interesting stylistic...

They didn’t do that. They aren’t doing that.
